    Ericsson used a lot of power chips in their telecom hardware 10 years ago at least, haven't worked with their stuff since then so I haven't kept up.

    The problem with going for open source models is that you are betting on some third party to keep doing expensive model training and releasing it for free, forever. What do you do …

    The assertion that an uncensored internet is a better world should probably require some motivation. If everyone was a normal (as far as anyone is normal) law abiding citizen perha…

    But most of their funding comes from speculative investment, not selling their services. Also, wouldn't selling their own products/services generate revenue?

    One thing I like to think about is: If these models were so powerful why would they ever sell access? They could just build endless products to sell, likely outcompeting anyone els…

    Azure keeps randomly breaking our resources without any service health notifications or heads up, it's very fun living in microsofts world.

    I think it's actually the other way around, satellites need to be specifically designed to burn up fast in the atmosphere. See for example the warnings about space debris from Chin…

    As long as people claim it's revolutionary it's fair to compare it to other revolutions.

    Domain knowledge is a real thing. Sure I could be replaced at my job but they'd have a pretty sketchy time until someone new can get up to speed.
